After 30 years I guess you would say that he’s found a home in the industry! A passion for selling is what drives him to the brink! When you come into the showroom you may hear him say, “Welcome to CiCi’s!” - Because in his early days on the road he spent a LOT of time at CiCis pizza! He’s usually in a sequined jacket and he might bust out in song. (He can actually can carry a tune!)
Mark is all about creating an environment that is comfortable and fun but ultimately about helping his customers and brands become successful. He is often asked for advice and will gladly bend your ear! From his beginning in 1990 selling screen printed tee shirts to his early days selling iconic brands such as Ocean Pacific and Calvin Klien, and working with major retailers like May Co and JC Penney’s, Mark has been fortunate to have the guidance from industry veterans to groom him, and the encouragement of his family to follow his dream of owning his own sales agency.
In 1995, Mark stepped away from the corporate world of fashion and opened his first solo showroom in Dallas and in 2004 opened “The Remedy Group” at the World Trade Center. With the help of many talented employees, past and present, Remedy has grown into a multimillion dollar producing agency in the mid-south with over 800+ active boutique accounts and a reputation for being a hard-working agency that is committed to being the best at what they do.
You will frequently hear Mark say things like, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression“ or “in order to be a successful company, we have to do the things that unsuccessful companies don’t do” - both of which he learned at an early age from his Dad, and works hard to instill in his team and the companies Remedy represents.
Mark has been fortunate to have the help and encouragement from family, friends and industry colleagues, past and present, as well as employees that have helped Remedy become the Brand Building Agency that it is today and one of the busiest showrooms in the Dallas fashion scene.
Mark will gladly tell you that the best part of him is the love of his life, Shannon! They live in Dallas with their two Weenie dogs Mocha and Lulu.
